NEW DELHI: These are really exciting times if you are an Indian sports fan and a supporter of the Indian athletes across a varied range of sporting disciplines. Cricket still might be the numero uno sport in the country, in terms of popularity, but the rise of other sports in the nation in the last couple of decades or so has been meteoric.
With the backing of government schemes, more infrastructure, better coaching and facilities, raw talent from different nooks and corners of the country have been discovered and honed and that has in turn reflected in the performance of the nation on the world stage.
